Is it over yet
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to watch you walk out that door
There's no easy way to get through goodbye
I'd probably try and talk you into staying once more
Or I'd lie and say it's all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I'm not up to being strong
Is it over yet, is it over yet?
A taxi's waiting in the driveway for you
You call my name, I guess your ready to leave
I'd like to help you with a suitcase or two
But I'm afraid I'm gonna wind up down on my knees
I should tell you that I want you to go
I really need to spend some time on my own
Smile and say goodbye
So you don't see me dying inside
Is it over yet, is it over yet?
I should lie and say it's all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I'm not up to being strong
So I'll wait until your gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?
The lyrics of Wynonna Judd's song "Is it over yet?" are about the pain and difficulty of going through a breakup. Judd's voice and delivery convey a sense of desperation and emotional turmoil, as she grapples with the reality of her relationship ending. In the first verse, Judd expresses her reluctance to witness her partner leaving her. She is unable to bear seeing them walking out the door, and acknowledges that there is no easy way to get through a goodbye. She admits that she might try to talk them into staying once more - this is something that many people in a similar position can likely relate to.
The second verse paints a picture of the physical preparations for the departure. Judd acknowledges the presence of a taxi in the driveway, and her partner calling her name as they get ready to leave. She wishes she could help them with their luggage, but fears that doing so would only lead to her breaking down in tears. She knows that she needs to be strong and tell them she wants them to go, but finds it incredibly difficult to do so. She forces a smile and says goodbye - but inside, she feels like she is dying.
The chorus repeats the central question of the song: "Is it over yet?" Judd wonders whether the pain of the breakup will ever fade, and whether she will be able to move on. She considers lying to herself and to her partner - telling them that it is all for the best, wishing them luck, and saying she has no regrets. But ultimately, she cannot bring herself to do so. She knows she is not strong enough to pretend, and so she waits until they are gone, hoping that the pain will eventually subside.
Overall, "Is it over yet?" is a poignant and relatable song about the pain of heartbreak. Judd's raw vocals and honest lyrics capture the heartache and despair that many people feel during a breakup.

Tell me when I can open my eyes
Tell me when this pain is going to end and I can face reality
I don't want to watch you walk out that door
Leaving you hurts too much for me to bear
There's no easy way to get through goodbye
Saying goodbye is not easy and it's going to be challenging
I'd probably try and talk you into staying once more
I wish you could stay longer and I cannot give up hope just yet
Or I'd lie and say it's all for the best
I might pretend that everything is alright and best for us
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
I would wish you well and assure you I regret nothing
But I'm not up to being strong
I am not capable of being emotionally strong right now
So I'll wait until you're gone
Until you're completely gone, I won't be able to face the aftermath
Is it over yet, is it over yet?
I am desperate to know if the pain is going to end anytime soon
A taxi's waiting in the driveway for you
Everything is prepared for your departing
You call my name, I guess your ready to leave
You call my name to say goodbye, and I know you're ready to go
I'd like to help you with a suitcase or two
I want to assist you in getting ready to leave
But I'm afraid I'm gonna wind up down on my knees
I fear that if I help you, it will be too much for me to handle, and I will break down
I should tell you that I want you to go
I should say the words and ask you to leave because it's what we need
I really need to spend some time on my own
I need to focus on myself and be alone for some time
Smile and say goodbye
I should say goodbye with a smile
So you don't see me dying inside
I don't want you to see me crying and breaking into pieces internally

Tell me when I can open my eyes
I don't wanna watch you walk out that door
There's no easy way to get through goodbye
I'd probably try and talk you into staying once more
Or I'd lie and say its all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I’m not up to being strong
So I'll wait until you're gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?
A taxi’s waiting in the driveway for you
You call my name, I guess your ready to leave
I'd like to help you with a suitcase or two
But I'm afraid I’m gonna wind up down on my knees
I should tell you that I want you to go
I really need to spend some time on my own
Smile and say goodbye
So you don't see me dying inside
Is it over yet, is it over yet?
I should lie and say it’s all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I’m not up to being strong
So I'll wait until your gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

I remember singing this a couple of weeks after my dad passed away in 1994. I broke down and couldn't finish the song. I have never sang it again. In fact tonight is the first time I have listened to it from start to finish. My heart grieves for Ashley and Wynonna tonight. May God wrap his comforting arms around you and your family. ❤️ 🙏❤️
pain moving forward
Amen
